DESCRIPTION
The foomatic-ppd-options program reads the specified PPD files or stdin and decodes the PPD file to produce a list of options. This is
really just a text based version of other print configuration tools.
The output format consists of a set of lines, each starting with a keyword, followed by a set of options and the default value. For exam-
ple:

name=PageRegion; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter), A4 (A4), ...
Each option starts with the name tag, followed by a default value (if any), followed by the set of options and a comment describing them.
Punctuation in the comment is escaped.
